Boxing Boxes - Moving Vlog Part 2

It's been a busy couple of weeks with me getting sick and the move underway so this update has been a little delayed, but at least you can get an idea of the progress so far.

Thank you for the Feedback

I appreciate the quick feedback guys, I won't bother following up with Kinguin. I've added them to the G2A and SCDkey list, that is to say we will never advertise them on Hardware Unboxed.

After Your Feedback on a Potential Sponsor

Okay guys, you know we've avoided G2A and SCDkey like the plague. Recently "www.kinguin.net" reached out to advertise with us but I'm not sure what to make of these guys. They appear to be legit but I wanted to see if you think we should or shouldn't take money from them for advertising on the channel.

Boxing Boxes - Moving Vlog Part 1

Tim is moving house, so that means there's a new behind the scenes series hitting the Patreon feed!

In the first part today, we're going through what needs to happen with the move, the logistics of it, a look around the set and how it all will go down in the next few weeks

New Intro vs. Old Intro

Okay so we're pretty surprised by support viewers are showing for the old intro, given we both hated it. That said people don't often like change so we were expecting some backlash. So tell us, are we hearing from a vocal minority or was the old intro really better?

Metro Exodus: AMD Tessellation Options Tested

On our latest Metro Exodus optimization guide, a lot of people were talking about AMD's driver level tessellation features that let you limit the amount of tessellation.

AMD Radeon VII Mega 33 Game Benchmark vs. RTX 2080, GTX 1080 Ti, Vega 64 & More!

Guys when there's more than two dozen graphs I just have to attach them. Embedding imagines in a Patreon post is painful, you have to upload each imagine individually and it's very slow. I didn't have over an hour to upload 66 graphs, plus if the browser crashed (you can't save as you go) I'm probably throw my PC out the window :D
